Automate YouTube New Video Notifications to Slack

Monitors a YouTube channel's RSS feed every 30 minutes for new videos and automatically posts rich notifications to Slack with title, description, publish date, and a 'Watch Now' button.

This n8n workflow automates the detection and notification of new YouTube videos by polling the channel's RSS feed every 30 minutes using a Cron trigger. It fetches the latest feed via HTTP Request, parses the XML in a Code node to extract video details like title, link, description, and publish date, then filters for videos published within the last 2 hours to prevent duplicates. The message is formatted into a rich Slack block with a preview snippet and an interactive 'Watch Now' button before
